What is the best way to go about having cell service in Sturgis, I have nextel and understand it won't work. Is tracphone the best option?

 

I stayed in Rapid City and had service on my Nextel. My ATT cell phone did not work. My friends sprint did work. I never really tried to call anyone while in Sturgis though.

 

I have Sprint. Won't work past Sioux Falls. Friends have Verizon and theirs work. Personally, I look at it as a blessing.

 

yea just want to be able to talk to my boys while im out there. I might look into verizon.

 

Had Sprint a few years back and it didn't work. The last time was with Verizon and no problems

 

Verizon worked fine for me in Sturgis last year.....assume it will work for me this year too

 

Looks like I won't be alone, probably a lot of hdforums members going that way.Im heading out with my dad and 2 good friends. Ive never been they have should be alot of fun.

 

Verizon works fine in Sturgis, but not so good in the southern part of the Black Hills. I carry my Verizon cell phone, but its always off and in my saddlebags....just for emergencies. The Wife carries hers and makes some calls.....they usually put up a temporary tower right in Sturgis to handle the call volume.

 

I have ATT/Cingular and have no problems for the last 5 years. Reception is great in some areas, not so good in others. Nobody from homehad any problems reaching me, especially at the Full Throttle late at night.

 

Cingular works ok, but Verizon has more coverage out there.
